    I always thought you could tinker with their stats based on simple things. For instance, have the same move set but if you attack from the front it generates more threat and reduces dmg you take while attacking from flanks or rear will increase dmg you deal and buff you. To include skills to allow swapping targets etc. This lets you remove extra combos that were just there for threat and making it more of a fluid situation. If the main tank loses his target to his OT for a swap the tank can immediately go into dealing more DPS by just changing his position on the boss. I find it a rare circumstance a tank isnt dealing dmg to the face is target so it feels like an organic solution to me. After freeing up those useless emnity only keys and compiling them into threat/tanky in the front, dps from side/rear you can add more flavor skills to flesh out the class thematically.

    THIS is a really simple solution that could work out - positionals for tanks. I like it
